FIRST DOWN

The extension you signed just before the season means you'll be in Charlotte through at least 2021. You're from Cincinnati, but this is pretty much your second home now.

LK: "It's great. I've enjoyed my time here and now I can figure out more of what I want to do. I think there's a lot of opportunities to fish around here. I was looking at that last night, where I can fly fish. Hopefully this offseason I can do a little more of that. The beach is close and it's not terribly far away from Cincinnati, so that kind of works out for me, too."
